Extra Bling and a GiVeAwAy!

I am a runner.  Plain and simple.  Most days it is not hard to tell that I run.  I am mostly spotted at weird hours of the day in all weather types hitting the pavement and pushing my limits. Or I am in the
school pick up line sporting my Seacoast Race Series running jacket and my Asics. Never a day goes by where I am not wearing running attire for all if not most of the day.  But what about those days where I have to wear regular clothes. You know get "dressed up", which I always know I look NOTHING like a runner when my daughter says "Oh mom you look so cute today, you got dressed up!" How will people know I am a runner then?  Will they see me get out of my mini van with my running magnets?  Will they see me chugging gallons of water and put two and two together?  Probably not! Which is why when I was contacted by Marie Scholl from Inspired Endurance Jewelry I was EXCITED to do a review!!!! (I was given product in return for my actual honest opinion.)

The mail arrived and I was in love before I even had the bracelets out of the packaging! They arrived
in such sweet and cute packaging that I instantly felt loved.  Like someone actually cared about me! I have been wearing my Sterling Silver Mini Charm Bangle Bracelet daily.  It is such a lovely and well made bracelet that I love slipping it on my wrist and going.  Most importantly for me I have a special remembrance of me as a runner (and a kick ass 26.2 mile one at that!) even when I am dressed up for date night.  It is like I am carrying my own little car magnet of my awesomeness where ever I go!!! I truly truly LOVE it.  It goes with my jeans and boots or with my dresses and heels.  I can wear it to PTO meetings or grocery shopping or a very rare mostly day dreaming on the couch about date nights on the town.  I love that the quality stands up to being a mom and having three littles pulling, tugging and needing on me all day.  The baby likes to point to the charm and make it move and I like when she does it because it is like she is saying look how adorable yet bad ass my mom is! Inspired Endurance Jewelry is a must have for anyone who wants a little something special to commemorate that being a runner feeling.  So if I were you I would totally head on over and make a special purchase today, for yourself or that special runner in your life!!! Or you know you could take a chance and feel pretty lucky and enter for a chance to win one......

  1. My very first race. At my age and having never ran for anything before (not even in school), and being overweight and out of shape, it was the most emotional, uplifting, inspired moments of my life. It changed my life forever!

  2. I loved training for my half marathon. It was so empowering to see how my endurance got stronger and stronger. I hope I can start training for another one soon :-)

  3. Oh I just love that second bracelet!!! My favorite running memory is crossing the finish line of my first half marathon, and crossing the finish line of my first full marathon with my sister by my side! Ok, that's 2, LOL!!!

  4. My favorite running memory is from the Nike 1/2 in DC. It was my first 1/2 marathon and my children and husband were there cheering me on in the middle of the race and then when I crossed the finish line. I will never forget the looks on their faces or the feeling that I had when I did what I thought was never possible.

  5. My favorite running memory is the first time my son did a 1 mile fun run with me. It was the same day as my first official 5k, which was a mud run that was awesome in & of itself; however, nothing beats seeing my son love running as much as I do. He's got developmental delays & didn't walk until he was 3yrs old, so to see him run a mile was nothing short of amazing! I had to jog the whole time backwards & he had to hold my phone for music. He was so excited & loved every minute of it. I can't wait until he's able to do a 5k with me.

  6. My favorite running moment was getting my first BQ time at the Richmond Marathon in the rain with my whole family watching :-) <3

  7. Mine was running my first "big" half marathon. I had only done small ones (less people and in smaller towns) before it. I ran in St Louis and it was so fun having people all along the route cheering everyone on. It made the race fly by and it was fun. I'll never forget it!

  9. My favorite running memory is approaching the finish line of my first marathon. My dad was there waiting for me, and I looked at him and started tearing up and said, "Dad, I did it!!!!!" That was a bit over 12 years ago, and I'm running my 5th marathon in a month and a half... This is my first one since having children (in 9 years), so I imagine it will be memorable in its own right, too!

  10. My favorite personal running memory would have to be finishing my first 1/2. I only started running about 5 years ago and barely finished my first 5k....but I stuck with it and learned to enjoy running. I never dreamed I would even want to attempt a 1/2 when I first started running but that was my goal for 2014 and I couldn't be prouder that I was able to accomplish it. I actually enjoyed it so much I ran 3 1/2's last year!!

  11. My favorite was when I did a run with the little girl I nanny. She always has lots of energy but I was shocked when we went for a run (she was 4 at the time, she's 5 now) & lasted for about 1 mile. After she said her legs felt like jello but it was a lot of fun & now tells me she wants to run with me some more.
